I found out about this book when an online newsletter (Family Corner News) featured one of its projects. The project was decorating a flowerpot with seashells, filling it with sand and a fat candle. Really looked nice and just what I needed for my seaside themed bathroom.
That made me look at the book. It's great to find ways to use all those terra cotta flower pots sitting around in the garage.

I was a little disappointed in the amount of garden clay pot projects. Projects in the book were too small and too many "crafty" adornments for what I was looking for. I can adapt some of the ideas but for me the book in general was disappointing.

I bought this book because I had seen a few terra cotta designs on the web and wanted more to decorate my home and garden. I did not like this book. The pots are cheesy looking and there is no talent behind them. Some of the supplies needed are so hard to find. If you want to paint cute terra cotta pots use your own imagination and designs. Don't waste your time and money on this book.
